Hello everyone!
I hope someone could help me.

I'm new to this UDT. I'm trying to make a column wherein the text is a URL link.
Here are my columns:

Title        Type                      Extended Settings
=======================================
Title        Text
LinkURL   URL
LinkTitle  Calculated Column  '<a href="' + LinkURL + '">' + Title + ' </a>'

I can't make it to work.
For example,
Title=NBA
LinkURL=http://www.nba.com

I was hoping my LinkTitle should be
<a href="http://www.nba.com">NBA</a>

But it's outputting as www.nba.com>NBA with the www.nba.com part pointing to http://localhost/dotnetnuke2/rosettanet/a/tabid/244/%3Ca%20href=

It seems it's being cut on the href tag.
Am I missing something here?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Jared

Ok, there happens some undocumented voodoo.

During rendering time the url value doesn't contain the original url but a complete link string.

But there are some more invisible columns you can use. All url datatypes will have three columns in the underlaying dataset:

ColumnName complete link (that one which is displayed when the column is visible)
ColumnName_UDT_Url underlaying url inside link
ColumnName_UDT_Original value saved in database

So in your case the desired string for calculated column is

'<a href="' + LinkURL_UDT_Url + '">' + Title + ' </a>'

Hi Stefan!
Thanks for the quick response.
You've been an absolute help!

Made it to work.
Thanks a lot!

One last thing, is there any chance that there would be a more detailed documentation in the near future that contains these kind of information?
Just hoping. It would really help us all, especially us newbies.
Thanks!

Jared
